About a month ago I got really sick. I had such a bad sore thorat that I could hardly talk. I went to the doctor he gave me some meds and within a few days i was fine. Sore throat and all. Well, now the throat thing is back. It started again two days ago. I am just wondering if something else could be wrong with me. I don't have health insurance so i am trying to avoid doctor bills. If anyone has any home remidys that would be helpfull
thanks

I have heard that it is not good to be putting so many vaccines in a person's body. So is it really a good idea to get the flu shot?

I have a painful bump underneath my arm caused by me picking a hair out...i am obsessive compulsive in that area. I hate hair...even after i shave, i still see hair. well, i am learning my lesson the hard way cuz now i have a swollen bump, the size of a golfball under my armpit and it is painful...a lot of people tell me just to put a heating pad on it and it should go down...what are my chances it will?? I do not have medical. If i do have to have them lance it, exactly what do they do and am i awake when they lance it?

I need help, i am in pain...i used a tweezer to get a hair out from under my arm...that was a few days ago...now i have a bump that's very visible under my arm and it hurts to put my arm down or up. if i use a heating pad, will the bump go away...it's underneath the skin..it's the size of a golfball. my sister thought it was a cyst put i doubt it is as it does not move around underneath the skin and it's very painful...i think i just irriated it so much from picking hairs that now i have a bump underneath...if i put heat on it...will it go down?

have tried all tablets with doctor, am now going back through them to see if anything will work. cannot work because of this, i dont go far as i only rarely get a warning that one is coming on. people even my own partner still says 'oh your always ill its only a headache, even though i lose my sight have terrible pain, lose balance, throw up , slur words and am in the worst phyical pain i have ever been in when i have one. i have hundreds of triggers from light off a windscreen to the smell of oranges to tasting coffee. and no i dont claim any money off the state as i would love them to go and i would love to get a job so that we could have the nice things in life, like meals out, holidays, instead of worrying about how to try and avoid the next one, cant afford alternative therapy. can anyone suggest anything sensible that could help?

Ok so I went to the doctor on Monday and he called in a couple injectable medications to give me. He called in 4 of phenergan and 4 of demerol for my migraine's now that i'm pregnant and can't take immitrex. I paid for these medications at the pharmacy with my own money out of my pocket. I now want to take them to a new doctor of my choice but they won't give them to me. Can they legally refuse to give me my meds I paid for?

My grandfather and my aunt (who both come from my fathers side) had the same symptoms ended up having a brain tumor, am I more likely to get the same thing? I wake up with a headache every day but 9times out of ten it turns into a migraine. Could this just be that i have bad seasonal allergies, which I do. No jokes please, I'm asking a serious problem. Also what are the odds of my 2 1/2 year old son getting it too? He already has seasonal allergies............someone please.................
